I read this for university, and I am so glad I did!

This was a great play to read. The characters were well-written and so were their emotions. You understood why they acted the way they did, said the things they said, thought the things they thought. 

I definitely recommend!

I absolutely loved this book. I adored the characters so much and throughout the story my only hope was for them to have a happy ending.

The resolution was perfect. Despite losing the money, they stick together and find happiness and strength in each other.
